The Gravedigger and His Son

There was once a gravedigger. He wasn't the conventional one, who dug original graves and laid the people to rest. He dug up graves and took things the dead people had buried with them. He was getting old, so he took his son to the graveyard late at night and showed him his family's trade. When told what to do, the son asked, "Isn't that stealing?" His father replied, "Well, that's putting it rather harshly. It's just taking things people don't need and aren't using anymore. What's wrong with that?" His son then said, "I suppose not."

Morals, anyone?
